Hot or Not: Pom Klementieff

I don't think I could have predicted the strong positive feedback on Jane Krakowski last week if I was psychic. While I myself am a huge fan of the lady, there was something about her I thought would be more appealing to females than dudes but boy did you guys prove me wrong, ranking her as an uber-babe in your minds. Which is strangely appealing and yet I almost want to kick you out of the club for having the wrong equipment. I suppose we'll just have to share. And I'm going to have to get over my annoyance on how they've rolled out GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2, screening the movie for such a large number of people weeks before releasing it to the general public, making us patient people feel like dopes kicked out of the cool club. But you know it's the only thing dropping this week, so I'm plucking a newbie from the cast to review.

Pom Klementieff

I'm a big fan of the original OLD BOY, so I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to watch Spike Lee's remake of the outstanding and brutal Korean original (then again, it was based on a manga, so is it truly the original?) and for the most part, I could tolerate the film. When you go in with preconceived notions of the material and the director, it can taint your overall vision of a project, but the one thing (or person)
who really stood out was Pom Klementieff. Holy hell was she a sexy beast in the movie.

I didn't recognize her as being the same chick when I first started seeing the trailers for GotGv2, mainly because she has some heavy duty makeup &
CGI going on for her character of Mantis. Gone is the sex goddess (unless you're into the hybrid bug lady thing) as well as her slight resemblance to Summer Glau, another achingly beautiful woman with a mixed ethnicity look (although Glau actually has no Asian ancestry and Pom is half Korean). Long-limbed, lithe and yet petite, there is a nymph-like quality to Klementieff that seduces and enchants.

I can't judge her much on her acting ability, only thus far having seen her in only one movie and a handful of clips from the GotGv2 trailers but I have a good feeling about this lady. She's charming (is it the fact that she's Canadian? Probably.), classy, beautiful and possesses a certain magnetism that is genuinely important when trying to kick start an acting career in this currently fickle environment. I vote hot.
